Régis Le Bris has provided an update on Aji Alese following a serious injury during the game against Stoke City in the FA Cup
Régis Le Bris has provided an update on Aji Alese after the defender was taken off against Stoke City with a knee injury.
Alese was stretchered off in the second half of the third-round clash after going down holding his knee in the 58th minute. The former West Ham man started at left-back instead of Dennis Cirkin for the clash but was replaced by Zak Johnson after suffering the issue. After the game against Stoke City, Le Bris confirmed that the injury to Alese was “probably” serious.
The 23-year-old has endured several injury issues since joining Sunderland, missing 13 games with a thigh issue between March and May of 2023, but now looks like he could be on the sidelines once again for an extended period following his latest setback, though the extent of his problem is not yet known.
“Probably, we’ll see tomorrow morning for the diagnosis but it looks serious,” Le Bris said when asked about Alese after the game. “It’s always a shame for a player, for a team-mate, because a serious injury for their health and their career is still difficult. It’s difficult for him especially, it’s difficult for the group because it’s important for us. At the same time, we’ll have good support for him for the next weeks.”
